Alaska court refuses to shut down Palin probe

You are correct. Thank you for telling the truth :)

to right!

I'm not one to wish ill-will for anyone, but in the case of Sarah Palin, I'm willing to make an exception.

I hope that this sends your "Queen of Alaska" Sarah Palin straight back to Alaska.  You all think that she's so great, you can have her.  I think that most of us have seen and heard more than enough of her!

Personally, If I never hear or see this hate and fear monger; incendiary monster (a person who excites factions, quarrels, or sedition : agitator) called Sarah Palin again in this life or the next, or even on this planet..... it will be way too soon!!

Thank's MY opinion.

Let's take this a bit further.  This investigation was launched long before she was selected to run with McCain.  The WSJ had been covering it for several months.  The panel was selected by the Alaska house of representatives, which have a Republican majority.  The investigative panel was chosen to be bi-partisan.  Palin pledged full cooperation with the panel.  It wasn't until she became McCains running mate that they tried to obstruct the investigation and claimed it was "political".  The whole thing is shameful and indicative of the GOP's attitude towards the rule of law.

Sarah has her hands full and not a lot of time to dingle around with the morons in our house of representatives, here in Alaska, at the moment.  Sarah from the start, willing to comply with the investigation, (but these take time and serious taxpayer money) and in that time things have changed into a political dart. Although there is a republican majority on the board, not all of them support Sarah, as she "cleaned house" of ALL politicians whom are scandal ridden thieves, wether they be Dem. or Rep. So go back to your little holes of unknowing and don't forget the shovel when this pans out to be in Sarah's favor. This stupid fiasco is over a moron drunk trooper and his buddy who wouldn't fire him. Not only wouldn't his buddy fire him, he also screwed up the books, which both the "cupcakes" lost their jobs. Not only did they lose their jobs for being incompetent, but cried like wee babys over it. So the big picture from Alaskans who live here? Two morons lost jobs, and their pus5ys hurt. Now we the taxpayer has to dish out the bucks.

Hi ArcticWitness,

I'm sure you will be happy to get her back to Alaska so will we. We will send her late evening November 4^th. Look into the southern sky early November 5^th. She will be the one on the broom.

Hey, JoJo, thanks for the laugh-out-loud moment before bedtime.  You should be writing for Letterman or Leno.  I, too, can't wait until she heads back up to be Nanook of the North on November 5th. 

Oh and while you at it, have her check out those "Banned books" you were complaining about.....

Articwitness,

I have never meet such a perfect human being in my life as Sarah Palin. Seriously artic she can do no wrong. Well golly gee GOD really did bring JESUS down this time in a womans body. A saint of a soul spreading peace, love and forgiveness on the campaign trail and telling us americans how she can relate to common folk because she has been down and out and knows what it is like.

Hey artic was she ever involved with the AIP or are the pictures and videos also from the liberal losers? And what about that bridge to nowhere? Ya betcha artic she is a perfect saint and I look forward to Saint Alaska heading back up to your neck of the woods come Nov 5th and hanging out with all her cronies up there so I don't have to she her face or name in the paper or on tv. You bethcha you can have her back cause golly gee she is JUST WHITE TRASH!!!

Having a little money in a sows ear, still makes it a sows ear....  Palin is no silk purse..

 This will turn out to be just another opportunity for McCain and Palin to avoid talking about the real issues that they know nothing about. People OUR Country is in a major economic storm.  She will be cleared and the spin doctors will use this as a way to avoid reality by saying "poor Sarah". MAKE THEM STICK TO THE ISSUES!

When this report is made public today and Palin is cleared will you guys start looking at Obama and 1. Illegal foreignn campaign contributions 2. Closes ties to domestic terrorist 3.Close ties to a group committing massive voter fraud in 10 states and counting ? I'll be listening.

Artic Witness

...since Trooper Wooten is the SCUM.. of the EARTH.....and Sarah Palin's SISTER married

HIM...goes to show BAD JUDGEMENT...is a FAMILY TRAIT....all the more reason we don't

WANT...or...NEED.......McPit near the OVAL OFFICE

exctly

ArticWitness, you must be some kind of stooge for the McCain/Palin ticket or something.  You seem mighty upset that the majority of people here can see straight through Sarah, the terror, Palin.  You cries of unfairness are falling on deaf ears.  Where is your sense of injustice when McDoodle and Pitlan stand in front of crowds inciting the ignorant stump crowds into a fever pitch?  Where you sense of righteous indignation against the scurrilous attacks being leveled at Obama for his alleged palling around with Ayres.  You as well as Palin are frauds. 

No matter what the report says, it will still cast dispersions on her, just as she tried to do to Obama.  Further, the her connection to Joe Vogler comes to light, she's really going to have some 'splaining' to do.  She palled around with a known terrorist who was planning something very sinister with the C4 he tried to obtain.  Her video taped message telling them to keep up the good work says a lot about her treasonous attitude toward this country.  And with you trying to defend up for her makes you equally complicit as her.  Don't forget, guilt by association. 

Pay back is a dog, in her case a pit-bull...

Heay, Artic, the land of the dozing drones.  You can have this lump of human garbage and all her witch exorcisms and voodoo's before she mandates every American must submit to a witch excism.  Take the witch fanatic back to her kinderland and maybe one of your melting ice caps will take her and the rest of the human, lowlife, brainless trash in this nation of rednecks and blubber brains, right along with her.

Adios, wolf killers, everywhere and boo, Halloween is right around the corner.  Heay, free-thinkers, what is Palin's costume goin be when she gets back to her helicopters and hunting forays.  Heay, who pays for those expensive heliocopters and aircraft and her great hunting forays?   

Does Palin and Heay Dude own heliocopters and aircraft to kill the strands in the web of all life?  Guess Artic, is just one more scientific illiterate along with all the dozing.  Step away from all the brainwashing and into the light; it is called thinking, heay dudes.

Right, ARtic, you have alot to defend.  A witch fearing, Earth killing, Earth hating, braindead female caveman, spawned in the Dark AGes of witches and demons.  Just what America needs right now.  Go Artic, sic us.   

What strike me is in one of the AIP videos they tell their followers after giving Sarah a ringing endorsement that all AIP member that run for office as Republicans. Now there are seccessionists here in America and I am sure their ranks will fill if Obama wins and one idea leads to another. Is the guy running in the south a republican or a seccesionist?

This was too funny not to share from the article. They must know whats in the report.

The paper also reported that legislators, journalists and others were greeted outside the meeting room by McCain-Palin campaign volunteers who were dressed as clowns and who said, "Welcome to the kangaroo court."

I do believe this too gives a insight into Palin's motives for Drill Baby Drill in ALASKA! You know she's all about ALASKA! PAY CLOSE ATTENTION TO #20 IN PLATFORM SECTION

"SARAH PALIN'S RADICAL RIGHT WING PALS"

A MORE RELIABLE ALASKAN SOURCE

http://mudflats.wordpress.com/

I like that comment above where the person says, "Send her back to Alaska...incendiary monster...if I never see that....again it will be too soon."

I'd just like to second that motion. I would really like to hear the stories of most people who get to be on the ticket for a pres campaign. I would love to pick their brains for insight into Real Politik and even just policy choices. What insights into the world brough them to their worldview? How did they come to believe this was the way to go, not go, etc.? Not so much with her. With Palin, I would expect no insight that I couldn't get from the newspaper myself. There is no policy behind her rhetoric. There is no reason to think any of her positions come from study and understanding of the subject matter. She seems to be all talking points and no justification for them.

I guess I expected more from McCain.

The one thing she was nominated for was to get the Hillary voters over to McCains side. In the new Newsweek poll 80% of them are now in Obamas camp. Figuring crossover votes in many of the states it appears like a shutout for Obama. Last night I read the entire report. It is incomplete as they did not have the advantage of hearing from all of the witnesses in the probe. The requested her to testify along with her husband and others in her office. None of them testified so the decision was made base on what evidence they had. If this goes through the normal cycle and she is convicted by the ethics panel she can be dismissed from office as their constitution says even if you are convicted of a misdemeanor you can lose your job. This may not happen because she appointed every one of the people who sit on that board.

logdump - I as you, read the complete "uncomplete" report posted and it is "uncomplete"> As a compromise to releasing this data (committee 12 reps/4 dems) 1000 pages have been held back - yes that is 1000 pages of the report have been held back!!!! If Palin, the repubs are so interested in resolving this issue - WHY HOLD BACk DATA?

So much for the dem conspiracy - so much for the media control - where is the rest of the report?

 That should have been, YOU BETCHA!

Agreed!  Abuse of power for personal gain when she is a Governor makes me wonder if she could be worse than Dick Cheney.

Ahem, I made a vow to not call names sorry....I meant Mr Cheney.

;>)

Robert, you're right Sarah didn't have to go that route, but she did and is trying to cover it up.  She's running around the country throwing stones at Obama, but she forgot she lived in a glass castle.  It indicative of the lack of character she has been displaying these past few days.  It shows her willingness to circumvent the rule of law, her lack of rightness, her sense of fair play and in particular her willingness to be used by that old goat McFraud.   

Maybe its me, but has anyone noticed how her daughters look at her and especially McCain when they're on stage.  I definitely detect a note of disgust and disdain toward those two as they assault Obama like they have.  Their look says it all.  And I can tell they can't stand McCain.  Its as though they're repulsed by his presence.  McCollum is annoying to them.  LMAO...

Obama too insults. How arrogant of you to not see both sides. I cannot believe you sit infront of your televison, LLM, and try and pick out the way the daughters "looK" at their mother and others on stage. You must not have much respect for your own mother to be accusing them of having such terrible thoughts. I think you are also a very lonely person, if all you have to do is sit around and 'create" dramas in your head, you must be missing more than just an education and common sense. It's people just like you who are voting for Obama.

Here we go.  We start talking about Palin and somebody just has to bring up Obama.  Nothing is more insulting than being called,  "That One". 

You are right, she is trying to cover it up and I personally don't understand why. When a state trooper threatens to kill the governors father (or anyone for that matter) in front of witnesses, and the public safety commissioner refuses to act, he should be fired. Is it just me?

I'm sure that the fact that her former brother-in-law tasered a 10 year old boy had nothing to do with it.

Just like BHO's relationships with Rezko, Ayres, Wright, Farrakhan, Alinsky, Raines, etc., say nothing about the man's character or REAL beliefs.

Keep drinking the Kool-Aid folks, and be careful what you wish for.

Nothing is more insulting than being called,  "That One". 

Oh really? What about  vile, abusive, queen of stink, bonehead, hate and fear monger, incendiary monster, or white trash?

Read the posts above yours before pointing fingers. The juvenile rantings on this board are disgusting. Why do you find it necessary to call names? Why can't you just express your opinions in a logical, rational manner? I'm amazed at the depth of hatred for this woman - what has she ever done to you personally? Attack her political/social views, since those would affect her role as VP, but why the nasty personal attacks? Why do you wish her ill will? I don't get that.

I don't agree with Obama's politics, but if he wins the election, I will support him as my President. I don't want anything bad to happen to him or his family, but I see just the opposite being verbalized toward Palin and her family. What is wrong with this country? We're all Americans, no matter what party we belong to, what religion we are, or what color our skin is. This is ridiculous.

Fedupwithliberal

Why is is ok for Palin to speak to americans using the same language you don't want us too? Is she special or something that she can have people Voice "Kill to death" and we cannot voice derogatory comments?

You are so ignorant, Sarah did not make these people say the things they did. What if I were to say your at fault for the planted liberals at the repub. rally? You put them there didn't you 86PalinNOW? You wanted the world to believe it was Sarah's fault for anothers words... ahhh... I think it's yours. So folks, can we burn 86PalinNow at the stake?
The moral of above story...
Only the ones who opened thier mouth to spew such evil, are guilty of that evil. Don't point the finger, unless you want that finger broken.

ArcticWitness,

Sarah's intentions and speech are slanderous and volatile. Thus she is motivating her audiences with speech, gestures and tone of voice that have energy to manipulate people to want to get mad, angry and want to commit violence.

Sarah is spewing the evil I don't see any of that in the comments I wrote. You are as cold as she is. I guess that is why you are arctic!!!!

Artic-

"Planted Liberals" I thought conspiracies were Hillary's thing.

Everything is a supposed conspiracy or cover up to the McCain campaign. How many times does Obama have to address the Ayers non issue for McCain to feel like he cleared it up? Geez, I keep hearing Palin to say tell the American people the truth and Obama goes on interview after interview and explains it and yet that isn't good enough. So we're supposed to take her word for it that she had nothing to do with Monegan but not Obama's word for it that it was just a loose assoication? Hypocrit? Why should we believe her story if nobody wants to believe Obama. Pot meet Kettle.

So now we are to beleive that the Supreme Court has gone to the "Dark Side" and are commie liberals.  Had they decided that the results of the investigation could be delayed until after the election you would have seen Limbaugh and hannity holding the court up as an example of all that is good and pure with America.

What a joke.  When well respected polls showed a bounce for McCain/Palin right after the GOP convention they were accurate.  Now that the very same polls are showing a growing lead for Obama they are part of the "left wing liberal media agenda".  My former fellow GOP's, when are you going to open your eyes and do what is right for this country?  The GOP has become a party of hate.  I went and changed my voter registration to Independent and will be voting for Obama.

socalrepublican, with all due respect, the GOP isn't the only party filled with hate. The hatred toward Ms. Palin is off the charts, and it's not directed at her political stand. It's personal. I don't deny both sides have been slinging mud, but people are actually wishing ill will on Ms. Palin and her family. You can vote for whomever you choose; that's the beauty of this country. But everyone PLEASE remember...on November 5, no matter who wins, we are ALL Americans!

You cannot come and out play with voter emotions using slanderous lies, and feed people @!$%# and tell them its caviar, and then attack someone else for something you are guilty of yourself,and not expect it to get personal

if in fact sarah had no knowledge then she is incomptent

if she did have knowldege she abused her power

either way she is a danger to America

This is the exert from the article:

ANCHORAGE, Alaska -- Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin remained in the dark while her husband repeatedly asked top state officials to help get his former brother-in-law kicked off the state police force, Palin's husband and top aides said in affidavits provided to The Associated Press. 

Palin, the Republican vice presidential nominee, is the focus of a legislative investigation into whether she abused her authority by firing the state's public safety commissioner to settle a long-standing family dispute. The commissioner says he was fired after resisting pressure to fire Mike Wooten, a trooper involved in a bitter divorce with Palin's sister. 

The investigation has been a distraction for John McCain's presidential campaign. Lawmakers were scheduled to meet Friday and release a report on the case, which could shed light on how Palin governs and what role her husband played in her administration. 

The affidavits filed with investigators late Wednesday will probably help Palin's defense that the firing was not a tit-for-tat, but they also portray her as uninvolved while her husband met repeatedly with her aides about family affairs. That could provide fodder for her political opponents. 

"I have heard criticism that I am too involved in my wife's administration," Todd Palin wrote in his affidavit. "My wife and I are very close. We are each other's best friend. I have helped her in her career the best I can, and she has helped me." 

oh, how romantic!  Shivery is not dead, it's alive and well! 
I believe everything he said he did, she did.  Or atleast, they did.

Ohhhh...so noble of him!  If true, then we need to look at the fact that a private citizen meets with the governors staff and gets them to break the law for him and the governor is not even aware of it.  Either way, it's sleezy and we've had enough of that the past 8 years.  Who does she think she is, Dick Cheney?

I wonder if I can get Texas Gov. Rick Perry's staff to fire my boss...or make him give me a raise... 

my understanding is that S. Palin actually fired the commissioner for refusing to fire her brother-in-law....did T. Palin fire the commissioner without the governor's knowledge?

jarrod548247

..does Alaska have Mr and Mrs Governor... I thought Sarah was running the State...her

husband met with her tops aides...that is very bizzare...I understand that all states run

their busniness' differently...however..I have Never heard of ANY GOVENOR'S SPOUSE

directing the GOVERNORS aides to do their jobs....IF she were to become VP...does

that mean.. TODD would do things instead of her.. that... HE would be CO-VP....TALK ABOUT

TOO SCARY.....I wonder if the McSum supporters have thought about that....Oh that's right

they don't THINK.

we are very close -- if she is governor i am governor

and if she is VP???????

We cannot afford high school educated successionist AIP member Todd Palin anywhere NEAR running this country!!!!

The next sound you hear is the First DUD and his best friend's polital career hitting the floor.

excuse the accidental double post sorry

Linda.... let's hope that Todd Palin's "chivalry" will keep him and "Bubba his special friend " nice and cozy in their prison cell on those loonnngg cold nights.

What gave him the authority to meet with government aides? He was way out of the arena. He was married to the Governor but nonetheless an average citizen. Sounds like the two were playing co-Governor.

None of you Odummba whack jobs will accept Sarah was in the right to fire BOTH morons, even if it's in writing. Get ready to feast your eyes on how wrong you are!!! LOL. I can't wait until they break this story, to you ill-informed spewers in the lower 48, so I can rub it in your arrogant, redundant faces.

OMG! This country is full morons.

Next Todd is going to say he's not her baby's daddy.  They are such liars.  We all know he does nothing without discussing it with her first. 

Ok, so we're morons.  Now that you've insulted us, you want us to listen to your point?  Is that it?

"Whack jobs, morons, arrogant, ill-informed" is your opinion of us.  Then, laughably, you expect us to listen to what you have to say!?

Good luck with that approach!

"So go ahead Palin have your sick fun.  Her turn is coming Friday and lets see how well you hold up.  Her actions these past few days show just how scurrilous, and debased she is.  Friday may very well be the end of her little run in national politics, and it couldn't happen to a more deserving person..." 

Or...is her turn coming Saturday, as in Saturday Night Live? Just more fodder for Tina Fey -- again -- just as the wheels start to come off the Republican bandwagon.

What I got a laugh out of is the McCain/Palin campaign "commissioning" their own investigation, which found that *gasp!* there was no wrongdoing on Palin's part! Yeah...that was the unbiased report; the independant investigation was supported by the evil Liberal Media (cue the old "bad guy" music) who are looking to discredit Palin.

As if she's not discredited herself already... 

Reality, I guess McCain said it best "My fellow prisoners...."

It's amazing how they've come out ahead to spin the "facts" after Todd P has all but confessed to the accusations; now, if only they can convince the American voter that Sarah didn't know anything... well that might not be so hard to do after all.

For Arctic Witness - I've read your posts - To prove I am not a "moron" I will wait until tomorrow to find out the results of the investigation which was sponsored and supported by a majority of the Republican Legislature. Of course us "morons" in the lower 48 don't know as much as you do however, we do understand "due process", which you must agree the Governor is receiving. That is where all sides get a chance to tell their version and a decision is rendered - oh wait, the Governor didn't give her version under oath but she did sleep at a Holiday Inn and talked to Hannity and of course gave her version to the National GOP which got the chance to rule on this.

As for the trooper, the part I miss in all of this is that he did get "due process", he testified, witnesses were brought in, the case was reviewed and punishment was given. The fact the Governor and obviously you didn't agree with the results should be of little consequence - the process was completed and probably by a fair share of republicans as it seems there are many in your state. So, you, Todd, the Governor should have let it lie.

Now I will look forward to the "process" being completed tomorrow and await the outcome....

As for Todd though - I do find it hard to believe Todd and Sarah are "best friends", that they "share everything", that they are the Alaskan "role models" of everything that is right - yet, he has over 100 conversations with people regarding this trooper and Sarah knew absolutely nothing about his actions - oh wait, he never told her anything about it yet stated "I talked to her about it so much she told me to forget about it"....with that explanation he should run for Governor next time.

Lastly, since she does "all of these wonderful things for everyone in Alaska" can you explain to us "morons" in the lower 48 exactly why her poll ratings were 83% 5 weeks ago, 68% last week and now down to 63% this week?

We'll see what tomorrow brings but of course, no matter the outcome from the investigation - Sarah will at least know she was cleared by the National GOP!

Just how "dumbed down" can political office get?  Todd may step in as vp for his wife, when McSame drops dead from a heart attack upon being presented with the 2009 tax bill.  Sure, why not?

So then....would "6-Pack DUI" Todd also go around making deals with political officials in the White House behind Sarah's back "without her knowlege" if the McCain/Palin ticket were to (God forbid) win the election???  Does Sarah Palin have no control over her husband and what he does when it comes to HER job??? 

ArcticWitness,

If Wooten was as you claim and Queen Palin is so great, why'd she fight the investigation?

If your assertions were true she'd have nothing to fear. Since she did run away and hide behind Grampa McCain, then I guess that makes you full of crap.

Linda, just so you know:

"Chivalry is not dead...it just smells funny..." - Frank Zappa

they believe they are the super-race

the nazis believed they were a super-race

In all fairness, I think attaining great power tends to make both Republicans AND Democrats feel smug and above the law over time. However, what makes the GOP abuse of power more egregious is how sanctimonious Republicans tend to be about "character."

"It's all about character."

"So and so's statements call his character into question."

"It's all about the character, stupid!"

When you trumpet character... character... character over and over again, and yet you and too many of your fellow travellers are found to be severely lacking in character and ethical behavior yourselves, then the situation calls for you to be more severely disdained and criticized than someone who commits unethical acts but has not been repeating the character mantra ad nauseam. That's what I find disgustingly ironic and hypocritical about Republicans. It's their "do what I say, not what I do" mentality.

rick i assume that is more right-to-life self-righteous infringement

your babies

are you the one who was going to take care of them

what about our babies being killed in Iraq?

well said sade

and BTW Rick is that what your church teaches you -- to call other people pigs

it is that super-race mentality again -- you all have the only road to God

if you believe in a petty, tiny, small-minded God like you all do that is

Rick - is that you? Is that you, Santorum? Come on, you already have a weekly "column" in the Philadelphia Inquirer - you don't need to be spreading your bile on forums as well.

And, hey, I'm a democrat, and in my 57 years, I've never killed a single baby. How about other democrats posting here? How many babies have you guys killed? Is this something I've missed? Will I have to begin killing babies to be accepted into the community of democrats? Let me know, please, because there's a daycare center just a few blocks from here....

Honestly, Santorum, you're referring to abortion. Abortion is an unfortunate thing, and I don't know many democrats who try to force women to get one. But babies, Rick - you guys don't give a s**t about babies. Once they've popped out of the womb, hey - they're on their own! Tell you what Rick Santorum - once the people who are alive and outside of the womb are treated with dignity and given reasonable support to live reasonably comfortable lives, and are not sent off to die in wars based on outright lies (volunteer army or not), I'll join up with you to focus on the unborn. Until that happens, when you use the word "pigs" look at yourself and your like-minded colleagues first.

Gene-340754 said in part:

"There must be something that makes Conservatives abuse their positions. They have an attitude of superiority..."

They have an air of arrogance.  They parade around like they're entitled to positions of power and once there they have the right to use those offices of power for personal vendetta's.  The American people should be disgusted and fed up with their sense of rightness.  We, the people, can stop this type of political scum by sending a resounding message come November 4th.  If they suffer a devastating loss, they will think twice about bringing this type of scurrilous behavior while running for public office...

I agree.  An example would be by not calling people by their names and instead calling them "That One".   I don't know about anybody else but that really bothered me when McCain said it.  So condescending.

Same here, Miss T. I can't wait to see "That one" being sworn in as POTUS in January .

Ginny and Miss T,

You go girls!  I cannot wait to cast my vote for "That one." We can finally say to Maverick and the Arctic Princess........Nah, Nah, Nah, Nah....Hey, Hey, Hey Goodbye!

Conservatives make me laugh. All media is the dreaded "liberal media"...except, of course, the "fair and balanced" Fox News. That's the same Fox News -- replete with Bill O'Reilly and his ridiculous "no-spin zone" -- which, while every other media outlet had Obama winning the most recent debate by roughly a 55% to 40% advantage, scored it a McCain win by a whopping 86%to 12%! Yeah..."no spin"...except like a centrifuge. Fox is the network who buys Sarah Palin's pabulum because they are the onlynetwork the ticket will allow her to do interviews on! Conservatives back McCain/Palin because of their strong "Christian" ethics, despite the fact that while the Obamas have been happily married for nearly sixteen years, McCain dumped his first wife and married his mistress one monthlater, and Palin had an affair with her husband's business partner and has done such a good job instilling her "Christian values" in her children that she now has a 17 year old, pregnant, unwed daughter. Some "values"!

I could go on, and write about Cindy McCain's addiction to prescription pain killers, or Palin's vast "experience" as mayor of a town that it would take threeof to fill that hockey arena she'll be throwing out the first puck at (BTW, I am a hockey fan, but less proud of the fact since Palin announced she's a "hockey mom"). Rush Limbaugh, Bill O'Reilly, Sean Hannity...spinning like a top on a news channel near you...

I too saw that poll by fox news only because I was out of town and no other news network, I thought, WTF...   Fox is crazy...

FOX is owned by an Australian businessman who does not give a rip what happens in the USA.  And the CEO of FOX is a Republican Strategist.  FOX is watched by primarily Republicans, since, by now most of America has caught on to the fact that FOX gives a one-sided Republican viewpoint.  So, the polls on FOX are the results of a mostly Republican audience participation.

Next stop: Dancing With the Stars?

JD.... slap yourself in the face for even mentioning that Sarah and Todd Palin go on Dancing with the Stars!   She's ALREADY delusional about her qualifications for the VPOTUS position.  She'll think that her and Mr. Sarah Todd can actually dance with champions.....lol

Shebush??  Shebush??  Haaaaaaa I love it!!

And I thought "Bible Spice" was cool!

Worse...she'll get her own show on Faux News.

Heard another good name for her and Todd....Snowbillies.  I was talking with a friend who lives in Spain, and that's their name for her!!  Gotta love the Spanish!

"Worse...she'll get her own show on Faux News".

Yes! I can see it now...

"Avoiding Prosecution, with Sarah Palin and Karl Rove"...

there those chills up the spine i was trying to avoid, but the way you say it, did it, for me, and yes i do agree. thats what makes it so scary. Prior to her nomination, this was to be finished 3 days prior to the Nov election,I hope it still does. I'm a guy and understand this is none of my buisn, but out of all the groups wanting rights, women fought harder and longer than any one of them, and ladies...I'm not in favor of you losing any rights any time soon. Thanks for letting me say it, now you can yell at me, ok.

i am terrified of S. Palin as I am convinced she will take women's rights, constitutional rights, and make up rights to take away she is a neo-nazi and the anti-christ "in my world"

Diane.......... You are absolutely correct. The last time I checked, the Assemblies of God believe that God is their one and only protector. Sounds like Sarah doesn't. She chose to let a Witch Hunter lay hands on her, and bless her. Rather weird.  That is an antichrist.

I hope they get him on prejury for lying under oath.  The whole bunch of them need to be thrown in jail.

my wife and i are very close -- so if she is governor it's like he is governor too -- will he also be the VP? the man might have a high school education! I don't want him running the white house!

What kind of house was she running up there?  For anyone who believes that she knew nothing about this I have a bridge to nowhere to sell ya, you betcha!  I don't have much confidence in her "executive experience" if all of this is going on under her nose (and in her home) without her knowledge.  What a ditz!  What was she doing, out shooting wolves from her helicopter or baggin' a moose, dontcha know?  Just sayin'

and fazool don't forget the pregnant high school daughter while 6-Pack herself is pushing absintence as the only sex education that should be permissable in schools

could that be God's little ironic way of trying to tell us to run away from this horrible woman -- that her policies do not work!

I believe that the cruel judgement she has for Obama, an equal judgement is being  leveled back at her.  We can't even be merciful, because she has shown no mercy, and she's the NEW one - WHO IS THE REAL SARAH PALIN? That should be the question McCain should ask.

Matthew 7:1 states it best.

The other observation is, she's suppose to be a "Christian" how can a true Christian so whole-heartedly incite anger and hatred?  That's not Christ-like.  Hellish for sure.

I hope that this puts an end to the extreme low-blowing negativity of the McCain campaign, (as they will have to take several days to defend Todd and Sarah's activities, and why they weren't properly vetted in the first place) Over the next few weeks, maybe we can actually get back to the ISSUES!

The outbursts at Palin rallies are very scary.  People shouting out "Kill Obama", "Hang Obama", etc. are very dangerous.  I realize you  can't control the outbursts that people will do in pubic gatherings, but this is becoming a common theme at her rallies.  I would like to hear a joint statement from McCain/Palin calling for an end to this, as this type of behavior should NOT be tolerated.  I would expect Obama/Biden to do the same thing if these things are happening at their rallies. 

We call them Queen Bees!

hopefully we'll call them losers after 11/4

She's more to be pitied than censured;

She's more to be loved than despised.

She's just a poor girl who adventured

Out into this world ill advised.

Hi, I'm Pit Bull Sarah, and darn right I'm taking the gloves off and putting on the brass knuckles. You guys keep badmouthing John and I, you will lose your weinerschintzels! I will spike it with a hockey stick so far up it'll come out of your mouths. Darn it, being a hockey mom can sure make me want to kick some dang donkey butts! 

Bring on that lipstick wearing pig called Hobama who supported ACORN and that Ayers guy. I will make him squeal like a bull moose being castrated. Whoeeee, that was fun! Where's Biden? What the heck! Oh, there he goes, that's the fastest I've ever seen any man run from me. You betcha, he'd better run or I'll skin and field dress his little white snow rabbit. Wink, wink.

Joe six pack, you just keep that beer cold for us buddy, John and I will meet ya you at the White House kitchen table after the Inauguration Ceremony. See ya then. ;-)

Here is a link to a posting of her SAT and grades....850ish SAT score HAHAAHAHAHAAHAHA

I was high and got a 1150

bak,  Got it.  However this is not about child abuse, THAT is another court case.  This is about abuse of power.  Child abuse is heinous.  Though not on the same scale, so is abuse of power.

so you would not mind the cousin, of your employers mother-in-law, having you fired, for looking like a human, or just cause you use the wrong soap, and married [ tragicaly] to her sisters, sisters half brothers, mother??? The person fired NEVER shot anyone, he was the mans boss, the boss got canned, cause he refused to can his trooper!! the trooper should be dealing with all this in divorce court [HIS], like the rest of the USAs married but quitting couples, not Palins PERSONAL kangaroo court!

thank you for explaining that critical different to bakka and anyone else who doesn't get it barbara

bakka, you're missing the point.  Apparently you're taken with the Palin mystic.  But no matter how much you dream about her, she still didn't have the right to break the law.  And especially as the chief executive of the State, she should have used better judgment.   Whatever happened to the little kid, the trooper was reprimanded for his actions long before Palin took the oath of office.  She wanted the issue re-visited and re-determined the way she wanted.  She applied political pressure to try and get what she wanted, that's not only illegal but it's amoral. 

Since she claims she's a Christian; she should have prayed to the Lord and gave it to Him.  Remember, vengeance is my saith the Lord.  She is not the Lord, by any stretch of the imagination, but she certainly acted like Him...

as you can see by my name of nobody and i admit i told her... just like i used to tell my wife EVERY THING, nobody told her!!!,lol but true. Your post is way to true.

Steve B

........can I hold you to that......hope you are correct....because it all sounds good to me!

if i could realy believe it this time around, sleep would come much easier. i do so hope your on the mark

Yes, but Steve.... we don't want Sarah Palin "hanging" around here in the lower 48...  period!!!

I'm afraid i'm believing the RNC and some deep insiders are actually setting this up and they do not want the white house in the next session. Piling 1 trillion dollars of debt in bailouts, 2 wars costing 1 billion a week, an economic mess unheard of since the great depression.

Best to slap it all on in the last throughs of a president who history will trounce for generations to come anyway, hand over the keys to the democrats and then blame them for the economic problems coming

When it's done and if McCain/Palin loses, they will ship her back to Alaska, blame for for the defeat, pull the lawyers out of Alaska and not take her calls. She will get eaten alive!

She is being used by the RNC and is too stupid or has too much blind ambition to know it.

I would like to here a conversation between Sarah and John McCain. Can you imagine that. Two idiot's talking about the economy and neither one of them know what there talking about......WoW!!! and Cindy with her glass of wine in her hand just shaking her head up and down agreeing with everything they say and she is just as clueless as they are.

Steve B....You're so right!  I don't understand how she was elected govenor in the first place. It must have been REALLY dark there, and the people couldn't see their ballots? 

I gues they can put their "heels and gloves" back on now.

jarrod: "Shouldn't Palin know what her own husband was doing a year ago?"

Good lord, I hope so, she sleeps with him every night.  That is a great deal closer than the Kevin Bacon association game.

jarrod

Walter Annenberg was a former U S Ambassador...who did not have a problem with

having.... Bill Ayers on his Education Board.....I guess he was helping to fund American

Terrorism Too...and to think McScum has no problem taking Walter's money....you are

correct...that six degrees of separation is closer than McScum would like his "FANS"

to know.....NOW THEY DO...McScum and McPit supports the PERSON (ANNENBERG)..who

supports the... WEATHERMAN...BILL AYERS....TALK ABOUT....IRONY...throwing stones

Oh dear another great comment from the right!  The blog is on Palin and the court ruling.  SO thanks fro reminding me about the IQ level of your comments

what the hell is a  "radical education board?"

is it some board to ensure that kids in america actually learn to read since, under no child left behind thank you W kids are NOT learning how to read?

Let's not get started on the social engineering experiments foisted on our children by our failed public education system.

so true fazool

and i assume 'excessive perkiness' is a euphamism for inappropriately sexualizing for candidacy and thereby cheapening the very important office she runs for

and fazool not just move in but, according to himself, "help" his VT wife, about whom he has already been accused of being too involved in her adminsitration in alaska

Fazool, very good. You hit the nail on the head.  No spouse has the perk of inteferring in their spouses' governmental responsibility.  She didn't know what the Dude was doing?    BS.  And getting so vindictively involved in her sister's divorce, just plain weird.  Cannot stand the crooked smile and constant wink, wink.  Who in the heck is she playing up to?  Certainly no one in their right mind watching her one woman show.  Next time she and McCain are together, notice how she is constantly hugging him and holding his arm or patting it.  I would love to see Cindy knock on her arse but, then she is too much of a lady to lower herself to such standards.  Makes me want to upchuck.  Being nice to your running mate does not guarantee you being elected, just shows that you are loose as a goose.  Wink, wink, gotcha, you betcha.   You guys get it, don'tcha know?

I love that... it would be like the Beverly Hillbillies all over again. 

its a good day when all you low lifes get so pissed off.  Go Sara!!

billy-bob i take it

i bet he can spell,oh i thought you were talking about  rev. wright, my mistake. 

Yes billy, i agree GO SARAH,,,,,,go home!

crazy people too... this investigation was on going prior to her being picked as VP!!! so it's not a get her now deal, it's a opps we never thought to ask, if she was honest, or clean, before they spewed her name as there choice as VP, so try again.

BTW

Koolaid is not understood by anyone under the age of 25, so perpetuate ignorence, or just wish you had a cup. i don't care it's old and not comprehended by most voters. Face it if you don't have a clue to Jimmy Jones you don't know Koolaid.

If you know Dick then you know McCain!

nobody this is all just more evidence of Chaos McCain's....well..chaotic and erratic behavior. he couldn't wait one more day for his team to arrive in alaska and vet her before as you so aptly say spewing her name out as CP choice

perhaps if Chaos McCain's team had vetted her they would have learned of the pregnant high school daughter, the successionist treasonist ties, the book banning, the polar bears, oh and the investigation

Dian:

Don't forget the shooting of wolves from the air. Such a quick and humane way to die. Definitely the way I want to go. Gotta protect them mooseburgers. Ya betcha. Oh, and the witch hunting, demon rebuking Kenyan pastor who helped get her elected. 

Don't blame poor Sarah.  It was McCain whose judgment is suspect for choosing her.  There is no down side for her.  She wins and is a heartbeat from the presidency.  She loses and she has speaking engagements with the republican base for life and book deals with Anne Coulter as her ghost writer.  A financial empire build on a bridge to nowhere and an imaginary pipeline.  ONLY IN AMERICA.

Yes, Only in America. By the way where has Anne Coulter been? Has Fox and GOP locked her up somewhere?

I was thinking the same think illini -- and then I remembered Anne Coulter being on Meet the Press a while back stating that she would vote democratic if McCain got the nomination...

And Wayne -- you seem to be living under a rock these days...  MANY news organizations have "investigated" these Ayers claims, liberal and conservative alike...  I don't care who's side you're on -- but, at some point, you have to acknowledge that if reporters (with their penchant for getting up everybody's booty and use of anonymous sources) can't find anything more than "loose ties," maybe it really IS just as they say it is...

Wayne 406009 - I did see Mr O'Reilly ask this very question of Obama and Mr O'Reilly said and has repeated that he was satisfied with the answer given in regards to Ayers. I do believe those on the right consider Mr O'Reilly to be a "respected journalist".

As for Palin - I just don't get enough opportunities to see her answer any questions - that's not correct - she has flooded FOX News with interviews....Greta and Hannity have their heads so far up Alaska I bet they can smell a moose fart!

When I see Palin do "Meet the Press" then I will give her some credibility...heck, I'd give her some credibility if she did John Stewart!

I'd give her credit when she bows out.  Boy, karma is a great equalizer, love it!

well she could have been on Letterman But daddy queered that gig

Wah Wah wah

This accusation of abuse of power is too much a "he said, she said" issue.  The fact is in Alaska, the Public safety Commissioner serves at the pleasure of the governor of that state.  The trooper who still holds his job, sound like a real sleeze bag, but then that may be just accusations and not fact.  Monegan I believe acted as he saw fit.  Palin on the other hand says Monegan was let go over his failure to accept her recommendations regarding budget issues in his department.  As I say, it's a "he said, she said" issue.  If the the reason for his firing was as Monegan says, then how was it possible for the trooper to keep his job.  If that was the reason is it not logical to think that Palin would have hired a new commissioner who would have discharged the trooper, and carried out Palin's wishes.  There is too much politics in this issue to ever be able to sort it out.  Palin not only has enemies among Democrats, there are members of her own party who would like to see her squirm.

All of you are missing one important fact.When you are elected to office you DO NOT lose your rights as a citizen.The report says Todd idi all the pressuring and she did nothing to stop him .Thats what they said she is guilty of.But don't you think you would do all in your power to have this Trooper fired if not prosecuted.Facts as admitted and punished for by Trooper Wooten #1 tasered his 10 yr old STEPson(Sarah's nephew)#2 drinking while on duty in his patrol vechicle,#3 had abuse charges against him #4 threatened Sarah Palins father.Some of this is from his TV interview others from articles in Alaska news papers.His punishment he was given 3 days off.He is still a State Trooper.Why because of his Union.Not because he is not guilty.So Sarah Palin is guilty of what?Doing nothing to stop Todd from doing what he has a right to do.If you read the report most of the "government officicals" that he spoke to to ask for help where his friends and did so as friends.And yes the whole committee investigation was political from the start.The Chairman is a Obama supporter.The greivence that Monegan filed was before the Alaska State Personnel Board until she was chosen as VP then these 5 political hacks decided to make a show of it.But they forgot you and me and every other citizen have the right to demand and persue the firing of any public employee who has done anything illegal or unsafe.Most of what I see on this post is just plain hate of Palin for hates sake.If you are not a democrat therefor you are to be hated.
